This was one lucky Polish beauty during the Finals. She was nice too, gave gifts and waited for players to come her side. She particularly idolized Yuki-san. Not like other fans that even in Lódz, they went to the players' hotel to ambush them for photos.

Ryujin and Hinotori Nippon will use the entire Paris Volley's club center to train during the Paris Olympics.
this is because the distance of Athletes' Village to South Paris Arena 1 (training venue) is 17 km (approx. 40 mins).
it's also said that Blain arranged this for them🥹
Our RJN, you deserve a warm hug for coming this far. We are so proud of y’all. Take a good rest our amazing boys, you deserve it. We love you Ryujin Nippon 🇯🇵🫂
